Like many others from the new age movement, I have come to accept that Jesus Christ is our lord and savior.

And how much experience do you have of demons if I may ask? I know this notion is common and that it stems from the axiom 'all is mind' but it's not completely true.
Demons don't really care if someone doesn't believe in them, their existance is not dependent on people believing in them, and while they may respond to thoughtforms and willpower they're not completely impotent just because someone lacks belief.
Though often they may not have much interest in such persons.
In fact, not knowing how they operate may make one more vulnerable to the methods they employ.
This suggests that you're very knowledgable about demons and know how they operate. Why don't you share this wisdom with us and, importantly, cite your sources of this knowledge.

What does New Age have to do with pagan beliefs? Pagan beliefs pre-date Christianity.
Well see that just it. The New Age is really just the Old Age getting back on its feet again after being crushed down. Around here anyway. Nothing really new about New Age in other parts of the world. The Gnostics were the pagans answer, blending ect trying to regain its losses in a co-opt method.

Even though all religions might lead to heaven, the Christian heaven is the only one with advanced science and technology. It is almost destined to figure out AI and secrets of consciousness and life first because of having advanced technology over the other religions. It's all part of Gods plan. Other religions are free to use the fruits of Christian faith but have to be content with getting information after Christian souls.

There is some truth and wisdom in every religion.. But isnt it funny that something that pre dates christianity and the bible you call Pegan is actually based on there belives..
From THE 42 COMMANDMENTS OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Thou shalt not kill, nor bid anyone kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery or rape.
Thou shalt not steal nor take that which does not belong to you.
Thou shalt not bear false witness, nor support false allegations
Thou shalt not lie, nor speak falsely to the hurt of another
Thou shalt not take God's name in vain.
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods
Thou shalt remember and observe the appointed holy days
"Amen". History tells us that Amen was a name given to Ra in a doomed attempt to turn the Egyptians into monotheists. After the failure of the "one God" attempt, the name survived as Amen-Ra.
Further Christian parallels with the Osirian religion were Isis's virgin birth of Horus, Osiris being killed on a Friday, resurrected after three days,
Christmas day, Halloween, May Day, Easter... all have their origins as pagan festivals, yet the same days in their original contexts are condemned by the very organisation that now reveres them.
